"The road to success and greatness is always paved w/ consistent hard work. Outwork your competitors, be authentic and above all else.. Chase your greatness. (The workout ugly face is optional;)"

"Arnold was also known to use trees as pull-up bars in his youth, and he once broke into his local gym to train in the winter, writing later in his biography that the barbells were so cold that his hands froze to them as he began to sweat. Now, compare that to today's average commercial gym member. Everything has to be padded and clean and convenient. If conditions aren't perfect, they won't train at all. No bar pad? Can't squat then. Raining? Good enough reason to skip today's workout...

Discomfort is a good thing. It toughens you up, and it's often a sign of good things to come. For example, discomfort in the gym when trying a new exercise leads to new muscle growth. Discomfort can be physical and psychological. Trying barbell good mornings for the first time is physically uncomfortable. The bar hurts. You have to bend at the waist and activate muscles you may not have used much before. It's also psychologically uncomfortable. You have to stick your butt out and bend over. Some people are so uncomfortable sticking their asses out at the rest of the gym that they simply won't perform the exercise, no matter how effective it is for them...

By avoiding discomfort you miss out on some of the best things in life. There's an old saying about critics that goes like this: "If you want to avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." The same can be said of discomfort: If you want to avoid discomfort, do nothing, experience nothing, be nothing. You won't be uncomfortable. But you won't really be alive either. So seek discomfort. Do the tough movements. Talk to that girl. Take risks. Get uncomfortable and grow."

Never too old, never too late, never give up -- 93 year old made of winning inspiration - 93-year-old Charles Eugster: “A beach body at 90 is no longer a dream” | TED Blog
"Charles Eugster may be 93, but he has no less spring in his step than he did as a young man. In this talk from TEDxZurich, he brings us a powerful statistic: 92% of Americans over the age of 65 have one or more chronic diseases...  Eugster points out that inactivity is to blame for many of the diseases those who have lived long lives endure...  But life doesn’t need to finish after retirement...  That’s why Eugster has taken up rowing. And weightlifting. Watch this TEDxTalk about the factors for successful aging from a formidable speaker, who urges us to “break off the shackles of convention!”"
